A Pound-foot per minute is a unit of power that represents the amount of energy transferred or work done when a force of one pound-force is applied over a distance of one foot in one minute. Engineers and mechanics frequently use this unit to quantify power output in various mechanical systems, particularly in older models. It measures the rate at which work is conducted, providing a practical metric for understanding and comparing the performance of engines and machinery.
Definition of HorsepowerHorsepower is a unit of power that quantifies the rate at which work is done. Invented by James Watt, it originally measured the output of steam engines against the power of draft horses. One horsepower equates to 550 foot-pounds per second or 746 watts. Today, it remains a standard measurement for engine power in vehicles and machinery. Horsepower provides a relatable metric for consumers and professionals alike, simplifying the comparison of engine performance across different machines and applications.
| Pound-foot/minute (lbf-ft/min) | Horsepower (hp) |
|---|---|
| 10 lbf-ft/min | 0.000303 hp |
| 50 lbf-ft/min | 0.001515 hp |
| 100 lbf-ft/min | 0.003030 hp |
| 200 lbf-ft/min | 0.006060 hp |
| 500 lbf-ft/min | 0.015151 hp |
| 1000 lbf-ft/min | 0.030303 hp |
| 2000 lbf-ft/min | 0.060606 hp |
| 5000 lbf-ft/min | 0.151515 hp |
| 10000 lbf-ft/min | 0.303030 hp |
| 20000 lbf-ft/min | 0.606061 hp |
1 hp = 33000 lbf-ft/min
1 lbf-ft/min = 0.0000303 hp
Example 1:
convert 500 lbf-ft/min to hp:
500 lbf-ft/min = 500 × 0.0000303 hp = 0.015151 hp
Example 2:
convert 1200 lbf-ft/min to hp:
1200 lbf-ft/min = 1200 × 0.0000303 hp = 0.036363 hp
